The League El Clásico at the Camp Nou has a date and time. It will be played on Sunday, May 6, at 8.45pm CEST, in a match corresponding to day 36 and will be the penultimate home game of the season.

It will be the fourth official El Clásico of the campaign, after the two Spanish Super Cup ties and the 0-3 achieved by FC Barcelona before Christmas at the Santiago Bernabéu. In addition, there was another one last July, in a friendly match in Miami won by Barça. That was part of the American tour, and FC Barcelona will visit the country again this summer.

The likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester giants United and City continue their involvement from previous years, while Benfica, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and Liverpool join, having not played a part in the 2017 edition.

Francesc and Dan debate whether Clement Lenglet would be a welcome addition to Barca's back-line given his impressive season at Sevilla, then discuss future plans for Umtiti, Mina, Vermaelen and Pique. Your hosts also welcome Patreons Mike and Mitko to answer listener questions regarding squad rotation, Paulinho and future signings.

FC Barcelona's stunning defeat to Roma has defined their season and above all, the squad's view of Ernesto Valverde. On a personal level, there is no problem with the coach, who is seen as affable, but his professional ability is another story altogether. And his decisions in Rome saw his players tell him how they really felt.

One of the most severe responses he got came from one of the dressing room heavyweights. "Boss, this was a game for physical players," he told Valverde.

Barcelona considered a bid for Martial last summer before they moved for Ousmane Dembele but they may now return for the French forward in the coming window. Barcelona are also confident they lead the race to sign French forward Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid this summer, while their scouts are also monitoring the rapid progress of Fulham's Ryan Sessegnon.

The 17-year-old has scored 14 goals in 43 games for Fulham this season and was named on the six-man shortlist for the PFA Young Player of the Year award alongside Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling and Ederson.

It was perhaps because of such illustrious company that Xavi couldn't resist uploading a photo to Instagram with the following message: "What a team! Beginning the UEFA Elite coaching course with these great colleagues, training ourselves up for the future."
